JOIN THE VOLUNTEER HABITAT RESTORATION PROGRAM ON MAY 7
Published on Apr 27, 2026 11:03
 Our
group is dedicated to restoring native habitat and building resilient
ecosystems in Crystal. When you attend, you’ll learn about the native habitat
of our region and how to become an effective steward of it.
The
program runs weekly on Thursdays, May–July, 6:30–8 p.m.
The
program begins Thursday, May 7, with a focus on the basics of a healthy oak
savanna ecosystem, along with hands-on experience removing creeping charlie,
clipping buckthorn branches, and planting wild strawberries.
Participants
are welcome to bring clippers or loppers for buckthorn removal, or a trowel for
planting—though tools will also be provided on-site.
Please
wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, and long sleeves. Gloves and eye protection
are recommended (and will also be available from the host).
Youth
ages 12+ are welcome when accompanied by an adult.
